Kennedy when he was president of the United States and his assassination. The writer summarizes the main points of the book and then discusses some of the plot's ideas and underlying meanings.
From the Paper
"The book draws on the very real scarring that the American psyche has retained following the assassination of the president. It has been several decades but the nation still winces with pain regarding the cold and tragic event that started out as a wonderful celebration and parade. Those who believe the conspiracy theory rushed the Warren Commission report to the public eye in an attempt to sooth the fear, anger and pain felt. Those who believed the conspiracy theory held on in the hope there would be more arrests and many convictions for the wrong the public was dealt."

There is some slight development, or variation, on the second theme, ambiguously for a few bars, and then it changes back to the dominant again. The exposition ends in a codetta.
The development section starts by elaboration on a lesser theme from the exposition, and then proceeds to lengthen a more interesting syncopated motive. The development section is in the dominant and returns quite quickly to the tonic and the first theme for the recapitulation. The transitional material in the exposition is now used as interesting material for contrast in ... "

From the Paper
"Glenn, Brown, and O'Leary (1998) conducted an experimental study to find and develop crops which could be irrigated by seawater. As the population of the earth increases, the production of food becomes more and more of a problem in order to feed this growing number of people. One of the specific problems facing agriculturalists is the need for water. Fresh water is needed not only for irrigation but also for other human activities, and there is no process that is effective enough at desalinization to provide the volume of water human beings need. The authors also note that the top five plants eaten by people cannot tolerate salt, and these are wheat, corn, rice, potatoes, and soybeans. Since finding enough land and water to produce the foods needed by the world is an urgent problem, the authors ask how the supply of food can be augmented. They answer that one ..."

J.K. Rowling?s "Harry Potter", 2005.
This paper discusses the controversy over the J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series.
1,400 words (approx. 5.6 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 46.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that much social controversy has arisen within the religious community which considers J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" to introduce impressionable young minds to the art and practice of magic, witchcraft, sorcery and the occult. The author points out that, when read by normal, intelligent young adults, the psychological affects are very low, especially when read as an enjoyable experience, which transports the reader to other worlds and forces them to utilize their imaginations, not to mention that it is often an enjoyable thing to be frightened. The paper concludes that (1) Rowling is only trying to tell an enjoyable story despite being heavily linked to the supernatural and, (2) if young adult readers really wanted to become a witch or a sorcerer, it would suit them far better to read the Holy Bible, which also contains images and suggestions of witchcraft and sorcery.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Any person who picks up a Harry Potter novel will surely come to realize that J.K. Rowling must have spent a great amount of time conducting research into the occult and the supernatural in order to produce such powerful and influential literary characters and situations. Obviously, Rowling has borrowed heavily from much older sources concerning the supernatural, sorcery and witchcraft, some dating back to medieval times. As one of the world's oldest religions, witchcraft is a pagan faith, non-Christian rather than anti-Christian, and is based upon the belief that nature and the universe can be controlled and manipulated via magic and the invocation of divine spirits."

Abstract
This paper reviews sources claiming that ?Harry Potter? is not a harmless literary fantasy, but rather, conservative Christians claim, that Rowling?s wizards, witchcraft, and magic may draw impressionable young readers into the occult. The author points out that the American Library Association (ALA) reports the Harry Potter series now has the dubious distinction of being the most censored series of books in America. The paper relates that many other accepted literary treasures, such as ?A Christmas Carol?, ? Macbeth?, ? The Lord of the Rings?, ?King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table?, ?Alice in Wonderland?, ?The Wizard of Oz?, and ?Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?, also contain elements of the mystical.

From the Paper
"In Alamogordo, New Mexico, Jack Brock, pastor of the Christ Community Church, recently ?led a mass burning of Harry Potter books?and told reporters that the books ?encourage our youth to learn more about witches, warlocks and sorcerers, and those things are an abomination to God and to me?.? In Lewiston, Maine, a local group called ?The Jesus Party,? led by the Rev. Dough Taylor, announced a book-burning party in the public park, but when the fire department refused to give his organization a permit, he took scissors to a Potter book and shredded it into a trashcan. Officials of the city?s public library in Jacksonville, Florida, have abandoned a plan to distribute ?Hogwarts certificates? encouraging young people to read. Why? Because, Boston reports, ?Local resident, John Miesburg, complained that the books promoted ?the evil of witchcraft?.? "

Abstract
The paper briefly examines the life of Rowling and how her upbringing inspired her writing career. It then provides a review of criticism of Rowling's writings, especially her Harry Potter series of children's books.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, as the fourth book progresses, even some of the seemingly-trustworthy adults encourage Harry to break the rules of not only the school, but also the Wizarding government. Other instances that promote witchcraft and disobedience include Dumbledore and Hagrid being arrested by the Ministry of Magic in the second book, Lupin is taken over by his werewolf self and Black is hunted by the Ministry of Magic in the third book. Overall, this reviewer believes that these books send an overwhelming anti-authority message. Furthermore, she suggests that "one of the best things any mother or father could do is to just keep these books out of their house" (The Christian Guide)."

From the Paper
"The stock-market crash of 1929 was the single most dramatic event in the economic history of the United States, perhaps of the world. In a few days, not only did the New York Stock Exchange suffer a crash not to be matched for nearly six decades, but an era of economic expansion and prosperity came to an end, as the American and world economy slid slowly but steadily into the Great Depression. John Kenneth Galbraith, the dean of American liberal economists, originally wrote The Great Crash in 1955, less than halfway between the time of the crash itself and the present day. A classic narrative account of the process that led to the Crash, and of the events of the Crash itself, it was re-issued in 1988, almost unchanged in its text save for a new introduction by the author, in which he relates his account of 1929 to the events surrounding the stock crash of October, 1987."

Abstract
This paper examines the theme of opposites in the "Harry Potter" series through plot and character analysis and discusses how this theme forces the reader to see that the truth often lies between two opposite extremes.
From the Paper
"Rowling also uses opposites to reveal universal traits present among both Muggles and magic folk. In the Muggle world, Harry has to contend with his bullying cousin Dursley and his social-climbing aunt and uncle, who at least partly fear Harry?s background because it might interfere with their social and financial plans in some way. At Hogwarts, the wizarding school, Harry has to contend with Draco Malfoy, a Narcissistic boy from an ?old wizarding family? who looks down on wizarding students born to Muggles, those who have one Muggle parent, those who aren?t wealthy, those who don?t dress as well as he does, and anyone he can find some othe reason to dislike. In both worlds, the best people are found between the two extremes: Hermoine?s Muggle parents seem quite nice, and the majority of those in the wizarding world are neither all good nor all evil, making it hard to sort out sometimes what the best thing for individuals to do can be."

The Case of Kimura K.K., 2007.

»

Abstract
This paper explains that Pramtex has lost one of the most significant and influential Japanese customers, Kimura, and risks losing other business opportunities in the Asian market because of negative fallout of Pramtex's relation with Kimura. The paper considers whether Pramtex can possible save retain Kimura as a customer and save its image among other Asian corporations. The author concludes that Kimura could be re-included in Pramtex's portfolio; however, the time needed for this achievement is going to be quite long because the Japanese company's bitter taste is too recent to be forgotten. The paper stresses that all employees of the company must understand that appropriate interactions with partners are an issue that has at least equal importance to having the best products.
Table of Contents:
Problem Definition
Situational Analysis
Main Strengths
Multiple Weaknesses
The Main Opportunity
Two Major Threats

From the Paper
"Pramtex's main problem is Kimura's refusal to place a second order for three more Spartacus machines. Despite being enthusiastic about the quality and quantity of the outcome achieved by the new system implemented at the factory in Osaka, Mr. Kimura, the company's president, chooses to opt for other manufacturers in order to purchase the machines needed at his factory in Taiwan. The fax that John Reef (product manger and Pramtex representative in Japan) receives is quite confusing because it doesn't contain the reasons for such a sudden change of attitude."

Abstract
The paper examines the article "Patterns and Correlates of Physical Activity and Nutrition Behaviors in Adolescents", which demonstrates the ethnic differences in how adolescents exercise and get nutrition. The paper looks at the structure and methodology of the study and concludes that the study represents a high level of research quality.
From the Paper
"A 2007 study published in the Journal of Preventive Medicine, entitled "Patterns and Correlates of Physical Activity and Nutrition Behaviors in Adolescents" demonstrates that there are marked differences along ethnic lines in how adolescents exercise and get nutrition (Sanchez, Norman, Sallis, Calfas, Cella and Patrick, 2007). The study's purpose, as stated, was to determine the "prevalence, clustering, and correlates of multiple adolescent health behaviors" to assist in informing the "design of health promotion interventions" (124). The study examined a significant sample of adolescents, 878 children aged 11 through 15 years, and looked at their specific daily food intake, level and type of activity, and non-athletic activities such as watching television or playing video games. The article concluded that minority status was the second highest determiner of lower healthy food intake and lower exercise rates in adolescents - the most significant determiner was a low education."

Yoruba Destiny, 2005.
Examines ideas of destiny and determinism in Nigeria's Yoruba culture.
883 words (approx. 3.5 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 31.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In his essay "Toward a Theory of Destiny," philosopher Segun Gbadegesin points out several inconsistencies in the Yoruba culture's traditional notion of destiny, but seems to conclude that the notion is not irrational. This paper examines Gbadegesin's account of destiny in the religious tradition of Nigeria's Yoruba culture and explores some philosophical problems with this notion of destiny.
From the Paper
"Upon closer examination, the connection between destiny and personality is much more complex than a simple "destiny equals personality" claim. It is not as if a person's temperament is contained in his or her destiny, rather, if one does, in fact, have a destiny, then he or she must live out that destiny in order to form a personal identity through experience. So, even if the earthbound Yoruba was given a destiny first and then was asked to choose his or her body, there would still be no personal preference on which to base the choice."
